Waldorf Q -Synthesizer

via this auction
"The Waldorf Q is a 16 part multi timbral virtual analogue synthesizer with 16 voices, expandable to a total of 32 voices. In multi mode, up to 4 parts keep their 2 high quality effects, giving a total of 8 effect processors. Each voice offers 3 LFOs, 3 oscillators with all classic shapes plus new algorithms, 2 filters with a sophisticated routing method and all filter types that you expect from a virtual analog synthesizer.

Furthermore, the Q offers unique Comb filter types in two flavours.
This enables the Q not only to create polyphonic Chorus or Flanger effects but previously unheard athmos or pluck sounds with great life. To top things off, the Waldorf Q has a very powerful arpeggiator and an even more powerful step sequencer. And with 58 endless rotaries, the Waldorf Q easily doubles the number of controls of other synths.

Interview with Howard Jones - Part.1


YouTube via soundonsoundvideo
"Musicians Howard Jones and Robbie Bronnimann explain their passion for software synths and retro gear."

Don't miss the live set in this. It's from the Howard Jones - 20th Anniversary Concert Live at the Shepherd's Bush Empire (2005) DVD. I have this one, and the vintage gear set is pretty incredible. Even if you aren't into Howard Jones, it's worth a watch if you are into synths. All vintage, all live. You can find the DVD on Ebay and on Amazon. It's also on Netfix.

Update:

Interview with Howard Jones - Part 2

"Howard Jones talks about his album "Revolution Of The Heart" how it was recorded and the mics, preamps and vocals used."

Howard Jones Interview - Part 3

"Musicians Howard Jones and Robbie Bronnimann talk about working with soft synths and mixing in 5.1"
